Note

This module is part of the openstack.cloud collection (version 2.3.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install openstack.cloud. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: openstack.cloud.security_group.

Synopsis

• Add or remove Neutron security groups to/from an OpenStack cloud.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• python >= 3.6

• openstacksdk >= 1.0.0

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
api_timeout integer	How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary	Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud’s auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, user_domain_name or project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string	Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
ca_cert aliases: cacert string	A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
client_cert aliases: cert string	A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.
client_key aliases: key string	A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
cloud any	Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
description string	Long description of the purpose of the security group.
interface aliases: endpoint_type string	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. Choices: "admin" "internal" "public" ← (default)
name string / required	Name that has to be given to the security group. This module requires that security group names be unique.
project string	Unique name or ID of the project.
region_name string	Name of the region.
sdk_log_level string	Log level of the OpenStackSDK Choices: "INFO" ← (default) "DEBUG"
sdk_log_path string	Path to the logfile of the OpenStackSDK. If empty no log is written
security_group_rules list / elements=dictionary	List of security group rules. When security_group_rules is not defined, Neutron might create this security group with a default set of rules. Security group rules which are listed in security_group_rules but not defined in this security group will be created. When security_group_rules is not set, existing security group rules which are not listed in security_group_rules will be deleted. When updating a security group, one has to explicitly list rules from Neutron’s defaults in security_group_rules if those rules should be kept. Rules which are not listed in security_group_rules will be deleted.
description string	Description of the security group rule.
direction string	The direction in which the security group rule is applied. Not all providers support egress. Choices: "egress" "ingress" ← (default)
ether_type string	Must be IPv4 or IPv6, and addresses represented in CIDR must match the ingress or egress rules. Not all providers support IPv6. Choices: "IPv4" ← (default) "IPv6"
port_range_max integer	The maximum port number in the range that is matched by the security group rule. If the protocol is TCP, UDP, DCCP, SCTP or UDP-Lite this value must be greater than or equal to the port_range_min attribute value. If the protocol is ICMP, this value must be an ICMP code.
port_range_min integer	The minimum port number in the range that is matched by the security group rule. If the protocol is TCP, UDP, DCCP, SCTP or UDP-Lite this value must be less than or equal to the port_range_max attribute value. If the protocol is ICMP, this value must be an ICMP type.
protocol string	The IP protocol can be represented by a string, an integer, or null. Valid string or integer values are any or 0, ah or 51, dccp or 33, egp or 8, esp or 50, gre or 47, icmp or 1, icmpv6 or 58, igmp or 2, ipip or 4, ipv6-encap or 41, ipv6-frag or 44, ipv6-icmp or 58, ipv6-nonxt or 59, ipv6-opts or 60, ipv6-route or 43, ospf or 89, pgm or 113, rsvp or 46, sctp or 132, tcp or 6, udp or 17, udplite or 136, vrrp or 112. Additionally, any integer value between [0-255] is also valid. The string any (or integer 0) means all IP protocols. See the constants in neutron_lib.constants for the most up-to-date list of supported strings.
remote_group string	Name or ID of the security group to link. Mutually exclusive with remote_ip_prefix.
remote_ip_prefix string	Source IP address(es) in CIDR notation. When a netmask such as /32 is missing from remote_ip_prefix, then this module will fail on updates with OpenStack error message Security group rule already exists.. Mutually exclusive with remote_group.
state string	Should the resource be present or absent. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
stateful boolean	Should the resource be stateful or stateless. Choices: false true
timeout integer	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource. Default: 180
validate_certs aliases: verify boolean	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to true. Choices: false true
wait boolean	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete. Choices: false true ← (default)

Notes

Note

• The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

• Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/
